2.4.2 “RINSE HOLD” button or “NIGHT CYCLE” This function is available for COTTON, SYNTHETICS, DELICATES and WOOL cycles; in certain models, it is combined with the SPIN button. When this option is selected, the appliance will not drain the tub at the end of the final rinse and at the end of the cycle, the LED corresponding to the START/PAUSE button (and, where applicable, the phase indicator LED) will begin to flash to indicate to the user that the water in the tub must be drained.
2.4.6 “INTENSIVE” / “HEAVY SOIL” button This option can be selected during the entire duration of the washing programme, and is available only in cycles for COTTON and SYNTHETICS. This option increases the phases of drum movement after the heating phases. The INTENSIVE / HEAVY SOIL option cannot be selected together with the STAINS, QUICK and ECONOMY options.
2.5 Buttons for washer-dryers 2.5.1 “ELECTRONIC DRYING” It is possible to select three different electronic levels of dryness: one for COTTON and one for SYNTHETICS cycles: Extra dry (cotton) Store dry (cotton) Iron dry (cotton) Store dry (synthetics) The drying time is automatically calculated by the "Fuzzy" logic. The drying phase can be performed either as automatic drying phase (non stop programme), if previously selected together with the washing programme, as well as a separate drying phase.
2.7 “SKIP/RESET” button Thus button performs two functions: ♦ Cancels the programme: Press the button until the cycle LEDs switch off. The display will show three flashing hyphens. ♦ Selects special programmes: In the programme selection and execution phases, this button can be used to cancel certain phases of the programme so that the appliance effectively performs a special cycle.

5.1.1 Microprocessor memories (main PCB) GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS PROGRAMME VARIABLES POWER FAIL CYCLE MACHINE & PARAMETERS CONFIGURATION EEPROM MACHINE STATUS The overall structure of the microprocessor memory on the main PCB is subdivided into three sections: This area of memory contains the software with the general instructions that control the operation of the appliance, such as those of the electrical components and alarms.
5.2 Analog pressure switch (electronic) The electronic pressure switch is an analog device that controls the water level in the tub. It is directly connected to the main electronic PCB. 1. air inlet hose 2. diaphragm 3. coil 4. electronic circuit (oscillator) 5.
5.3 Instantaneous door safety device Certain models are fitted with an instantaneous door safety device; this means that the door can be opened as soon as the drum stops rotating. 1. PTC solenoid protector 2. Solenoid 3. Lever mechanism 4. Cam 5.
5.4 Detergent dispenser Water is ducted into the detergent dispenser by a solenoid valve with one inlet and two or three outlets. Some models are fitted with a second solenoid valve for hot water fill. The same detergent dispenser is used in all models; the only difference lies in the water intake nozzle.
5.5 Power supply to the motor The main PCB powers the motor directly via a TRIAC. Reversal of the direction of the motor is effected by two relays that vary the connection between the rotor and the stator. A third relay powers the stator in half- or full-range operation, depending on the spin speed. The speed of the motor is controlled by a signal received from the tachometric generator.
5.6 Circulation pump In Jetsystem models, the circulation pump is powered directly by the main PCB via a TRIAC. 5.7 Heating The heating element is powered directly by the main PCB via a relay. As a safety feature, a traditional dual-level pressure switch (anti-boiling 1 and anti-boiling 2) is connected in series to the heating element.
6 Drying circuit (washer-dryers) The drying system is identical to that used for washer/dryers with traditional timers. There are 2 versions: “Standard” with drying heating elements of 700+700 W “High performance” with drying heating elements of 1000+1000 W 1. Fan 2.
6.1.1 Temperature control An NTC sensor fitted to the duct is used to control the drying temperature; two safety thermostats (one of which is a manual-reset type) are fitted to the casing of the heating element. “Standard” Version “High performance” Version 1.
